'''Galoombas''' (named '''[[Goomba]]s'''<ref name=SMW>{{cite|date=1991|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=23}}</ref> before ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'') are relatives of [[Goomba]]s that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They either walk across the ground, parachute from above or float down in bubbles (which burst upon coming into contact with any object), or can even appear with wings to hop around. Unlike Goombas, stomping them will flip them over, but they can be defeated by other methods, such as a fireball from a [[Fire Flower]].

In Japanese, these enemies have always been referred to as ''Kuribon'', marking them as a distinct species from Goombas, which are called ''Kuribō''. In localizations, however, they tended to share a name with Goombas until ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', though some attempted to split them earlier in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[File:SMW Goomba Sprite.gif|frame|left]]
<!--NOTE TO EDITORS: Please do not change every instance of "Goomba" in this section to "Galoomba". They are NOT typos, as they were known as "Goombas" in this game and therefore should use that name here. Please see MarioWiki:Naming#Name_changes for more information.-->
This variation of [[Goomba]] debuts in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', first appearing in [[Donut Plains 4]]. Although these creatures walk in straight paths to attack like regular Goombas, they do not resemble the original ones. These Goombas do not have mushroom-shaped heads but rather more spherical ones. They also lack a stem; the Goomba's two feet are attached directly to the bottom of the head. As such, they resemble chestnuts more than mushrooms. Artwork depicts their feet as green, but sprites depict their feet as yellow, despite the fact that the green palette for Koopa Troopa, and other various objects in the game, could have been mapped correctly.

They cannot be defeated in a single [[jump]], as doing so flips them over and immobilizes them. In this state, they can be picked up and thrown at other enemies, like with [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Running into them or jumping on them when flipped causes them to be kicked around (though they do not ricochet, like [[shell]]s do). After a few seconds they right themselves, which damages Mario if he is carrying one. They can automatically be defeated with a [[Spin Jump]], with a [[fireball]] or an attack from [[Yoshi]]; an attack with the [[Cape Mario|cape]] causes them to be flipped over as well.

These Goombas face the side as opposed to the camera like the original Goombas, though this trait would be later given to them in 2D games starting from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''

{{multiframe|[[File:SMW Para-Goomba Sprite.gif]] [[File:SMW Flying Goomba Sprite.gif]]}}
There are two variants of Goombas in the original ''Super Mario World''. [[Parachute Galoomba|Para-Goombas]] are Goombas which utilize parachutes instead of being Goombas with wings, though [[Paragaloomba|Flying Goomba]]s, which are wing-bearing Goombas, also appear, and can only hop on the ground instead of fly. Like [[Paragoomba]]s, Flying Goombas' wings are clipped after one stomp, reverting them to normal Goombas, and thus, stomping on them after their wings are gone just renders them helpless for a few moments, allowing the player to throw them at other enemies. Spiked versions of Flying Goombas also known as [[Para-Goomba (Mario Clash)|Para-Goomba]]s later appeared in ''[[Mario Clash]]''.

[[File:Galoomba Fall SMA2.png|frame|right]]
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', after the player beats the [[Special Zone]] and finds all of the exits, the Goombas are recolored yellow and wear sunglasses.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a single ''Super Mario World'' Goomba appears at the end of the [[World-e]] level [[Rich with Ropes]], where [[Parachute Galoomba|Para-Goomba]]s can also be found. They can be stomped on and grabbed like in ''Super Mario World''.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
After a long absence, Galoombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|port]] under their current name, alongside regular Goombas and a bigger variation named [[Big Galoomba]]. Like normal Goombas in 3D ''Super Mario'' games, they attempt to chase after the player upon seeing them. Additionally, like in ''Super Mario World'', Galoombas cannot be defeated with one jump, as that causes them to be flipped over, though unlike in ''Super Mario World'', a second jump defeats them. A Ground Pound can also be used to defeat them in one hit. Additionally, Galoombas cannot be carried, kicked around, or thrown, as running into them while immobilized also causes them to be defeated.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Galoombas replace regular Goombas when in the ''Super Mario World'' style in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They use a slightly edited version of their original sprite from ''Super Mario World''; their feet are colored green instead of yellow to match their artwork and modern appearances. When stomped on, they turn upside down, waiting for the player to pick their bodies up and hurl them. If a [[Super Mushroom]] is dragged onto a Galoomba, the enemy will transform into a Big Galoomba; if wings are given to a Galoomba, it will become a Paragaloomba. 

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Galoombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In addition to retaining their previous properties, by tapping and holding Galoombas in Course Maker, they can be changed into a [[Goombrat]]-like enemy called [[Goombud]]. Although Galoombas coexisted with Goombas in ''Super Mario 3D World'', which has its own style in this game, they remain exclusive to the ''Super Mario World'' style.

===''Mario's FUNdamentals''===
Galoombas, in their ''Super Mario World'' design, appear on one of the cards in Go Fish.

===''Super Mario World'' cartoon===
[[File:Galoombas, Boo Buddies and Ninjis.jpg|thumb|left|Goombas with Boo Buddies and Ninjis in "The Yoshi Shuffle".]]
These Goombas appear twice in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoon. They first appear in "[[The Wheel Thing]]", in which they are shown as being the "power source" for the cars made by Mario and Luigi. They also briefly appear in "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]" in the audience during the football game.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===
In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', these Goombas and at least two [[Paragaloomba|Flying Goombas]] were sent by [[Bowser]] to attack [[Peach's Castle|Princess Toadstool's Palace]]. In addition, they were among the attendees to Bowser's marriage to the hypnotized [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]].

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 3''====
While normal versions of these Goombas themselves are not in the game, Flying Goombas appear as an obstacle during the [[minigame]] [[Ridiculous Relay]]. The single player must dodge both them and [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s in their hand glider, and reach the finish line before the other three players do.

====''Mario Party Advance''====
In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', due to appearing alongside standard Goombas, this version of Goomba is known in English as "[[Goombob]]", a character who lives at [[Goombob Manor]]. Another member of the species that appears is his crush, [[Goombetty]]. Red and blue versions of this type of Goomba also appear in [[Tap-Tap Sumo]].

====''Mario Party 10''====
Galoombas appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', appearing in a few minigames that also feature Goombas and [[Goombrat]]s.

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
Galoombas appear in the ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' minigame [[Goomba Guess]]. The goal of the minigame is to tap the most Goombas, while Galoombas deduct one point from the player. In the beginning of the minigame, the placement of the enemies are shown before they shift positions, and afterward are covered by a dark veil so players are required to memorize the placements beforehand.

====''Super Mario Party''====
Galoombas appear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' as non-playable characters. They can be seen in the minigames [[Nut Cases]] and [[Take a Stab]].

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
[[File:MPS Galoomba enc.png|thumb|left|A Galoomba in its encyclopedia entry from ''Mario Party Superstars'']]
Three Galoombas appear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' in the background of [[Woody Woods]], replacing the [[Wiggler]]s from the ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' version. Two of them are talking to each other, while the other can be seen juggling an apple. In their encyclopedia entry, it is mentioned that they are often confused with Goombas.

====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
Galoombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' in the third level of the Koopathlon minigame [[Which Door Has More?]]
{{br}}

===''Paper Mario: The Origami King''===
[[File:OrigamiGaloomba.jpg|thumb|100px|An origami Galoomba]]
Galoombas make their ''Paper Mario'' debut in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami Galoombas make an appearance as enemies. Galoombas first appear in [[Chestnut Valley]], in which a group of them will ambush Mario if he hits a tree that a Goomba climbs. Later, several Galoombas will ambush Mario from rolling chestnuts, and some will attempt to block his path with a chestnut.

In [[Shogun Studios]], a group of Galoombas ambush Mario from one of the sand patches in a house.

In battle, Galoombas attack Mario with a Headbalonk move. If they have HP remaining after jumping on them, they will flip over like in the mainstream ''Super Mario'' series.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Galoombas appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. In stage mode, they grant a chance that two objects, mainly [[virus]]es, transform into [[pop cannon]]s at the start of a stage. In versus mode, their effect is to transform two of the viruses that appear after all viruses are eliminated into pop cannons. In both cases, the chances that the effects occur are greater at higher levels. They also appear on the [[World 21]] map after an area has been cleared of viruses. A Galoomba assistant is rewarded after clearing the first area in World 21.

==Notes==
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', while Galoombas do not appear directly in the game, they are mentioned in one of the randomly generated Tips. In the tip, it is clarified that ''Super Mario World'' has no Goombas, and that Galoombas are a different species.
